Problems We Solve
I Have Damaged, Chipped, or Worn Teeth
Dealing with damaged, chipped, or worn teeth can be challenging, but there are several outstanding dental solutions available to restore your smile and functionality. At Red Hill Dental, we offer a variety of treatments tailored to meet your specific needs.
Crowns: a Natural-Looking Restoration
Crowns are an excellent option for teeth that are chipped, decayed, discoloured, broken, or misaligned. Essentially, a crown is a cover or ‘cap’ that encases the entire tooth, creating a new outer layer. These restorations are typically made from porcelain or a combination of porcelain and other restorative materials, providing a natural look and feel.
The primary function of a crown is to restore the tooth’s full functionality. Crowns can be used for single teeth or multiple teeth, and they are also instrumental in anchoring bridges or covering dental implants. Thanks to the advanced technology in our Paddington practice, we can create same-day crowns on-site, often within two hours. This efficiency ensures you can quickly return to enjoying your smile with minimal downtime.
Bridges: Filling the Gaps
If you have missing teeth, bridges are a practical and aesthetic solution. A dental bridge spans the space where teeth are missing, using crowns placed on adjacent teeth as ‘anchors’ to support the false tooth (or teeth) in between. This not only fills the gap but also helps maintain the alignment of your bite.
The process of getting a bridge typically requires two visits. During the first visit, we prepare the anchor teeth and place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth. The permanent bridge, crafted by our dental laboratory, is securely placed during your second visit. This two-step process ensures a precise fit and a durable, long-lasting restoration.
Veneers: Enhancing Your Smile
For those looking to enhance the appearance of their teeth, veneers are a fantastic option. Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of ceramic material bonded to the front of the teeth. They are ideal for improving the appearance of front teeth, successfully closing gaps, lengthening small teeth, correcting the shape of misshapen teeth, and whitening teeth that have become stained or darkened over time.
Veneers provide a minimally invasive way to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile. The process involves a detailed consultation to design the perfect veneers for your teeth, followed by preparation and bonding, resulting in a stunning transformation.
Braces: A Traditional Approach That Gets Great Results
Braces are a time-tested method for straightening teeth and correcting alignment issues. We offer traditional metal braces made of high-grade stainless steel. These braces, along with archwires, apply pressure to your teeth and bone to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
While wearing braces might not be the most enjoyable experience, we can make them more fun by offering colourful or colourless elastics, allowing you to personalise your braces. The results of traditional braces are reliable and long-lasting, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health.
Invisalign® and Clear Aligner Treatment: Discreet Alignment
For those seeking a more discreet option for teeth straightening, Invisalign and clear aligner treatment are ideal solutions. This modern orthodontic system uses a series of nearly invisible custom-made removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
One of the significant advantages of Invisalign and clear aligner treatment is the ability to remove the aligners, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions and making brushing and flossing much easier.
Every two weeks, you will receive a new set of clear plastic aligners. As you switch out each aligner, your teeth will progressively move into their final, straightened position. Invisalign and clear aligner treatment offers comfortable and inconspicuous ways to achieve a perfect smile.
